I don't want to speak to the intent of the RCMP Act or the provisions that are there. I was not involved in their drafting or their development.

With respect to the bill that is before you, we've provided our advice to cabinet through our minister, and this is the bill the government has come forward with. If there are concerns or questions, it may be that the minister would be better placed to speak to the policy intent behind that distinction.
